Boeing 767

A Boeing 767-300F freighter flying for Amazon Prime Air overran a runway at Miami International Airport on September 6, killing five people.

The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report gives the clearest account so far of the sequence. It says the aircraft arrived fast, touched down thousands of feet along the runway, and was still moving at more than 110 knots when it reached the end of the pavement. The flight, number 7598, was flown by 21 Air on behalf of Amazon, according to the source.
